Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 31, 1910. Serial Ito. 564,111.

To all when it may concern:

Be it known that T, Crmnnns lvlosnn Zinc MERMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved GlueFaucet, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Heretofore molasses faucets have been generally used on glue kettles. They are, however, unsatisfactory as the valve frequently sticks and requires a very strong pull to unseat it. This often results in breaking the faucet, and sometimes causes the faucet to be torn from the kettle, or the kettle torn from the stand.

I have designed a faucet in which the foregoing objections are substantially overcome, and in which the force incident to the opening of the valve, reacts against the vessel, ordinarily through the valve housing or mounting.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure 1 is a central vertical section of a glue faucet constructed in accordance with my invention as applied to the glue kettle; and Fig. 2 is an inverted plan of the faucet, partly in section, and with the valve open.

The faucet in its preferred embodiment comprises a valve cylinder or housing 5, which is provided at its forward edge with an external shoulder or flange 6. From the top of this flange an arm 7 extends outwardly and is odset or turned downwardly at its free end, as indicated at 8. At the bottom of the flange 6, a drain spout 9 in clines downwardly and outwardly, both the arm 7 and drain spout 9, as also the valve cylinder 5, being preferably cast or other wise formed in a single piece. Within the valve cylinder 5 is slidably fitted a thimble valve 10, which, at its outer end or portion, is provided with a flange or shoulder 11, arranged to bear against the valve seat afiorded by the front face of the flange 6. The upper portion of the flange 11 is bifurcated or slotted, as indicated at 12, to receive the arm 7 and in this manner prevent the valve from turning in the valve cylinder. The body of the valve intermediate its length and at the bottom is provided with a discharge opening 13. The body of the valve cylinder is externally threaded at its smaller end to receive a clamping ring 1411, which, atits inner portion, is expanded or flanged and formed to bear on its outer edge 15 only, the diameter of this hearing edge being ordinarily equal to or .-l ghtly less than the diameter of the flung 3. so that when the faucet is applied to the kettle, as shown in the drawing figures, the metal of the vessel will be forcibly bound between the clamping ring and flange 6, and a llui'utight joint for-med therebetween.

Journaled or swiveled in the closed or flanged outer end of the thimble valve, is a valve stem 16, the connection between these two parts being ordinarily effected. by passing the reduced inner end of the stem through a central opening formed in the outer wall of the valve, and riveting or expanding the i11wardly-extending portion the stem to form a shouhjler or head 17, the stem being free to turn in the alvc between this shoulder and the shoulder presented by the reduced portion of the stem, so that the stem and. valve can revolve relatively to each other, but are enforced to travel together in a longitudinal dllCCtlOIl- The outer portion of the stem is preferably screw-threaded and threads through the offset end 8 of the arm 7, at the front of which it is provided with a suitable handle 18.

lVith the faucet thus constructed, when the valve is in the closed position shown in Fig. 1, the glue or other fluid is effectively cut off. By, however, turning the handle 18 in a direction to draw the stern outwardly, the valve is drawn from the valve cylinderand is guided along the arm. is the discharge opening 13 passes to the outside of the cylinder, the glue is free to flow from the vessel through the tubular inner end. of the valve, and the discharge opening 13, from which it falls on the spent 9, the spout discharging the glue from the side of the vessel to any receptacle placed to receive the glue. It will be noted that the construction is such that the force required to unseat the valve, hrough the arm reacts against the valve cylinder or housing and the glue kettle, making it impossible to loosen the faucet from the kettle or tear the kettle from the stand in opening the valve. The construction is also such that it is impossible for the valve to adhere to its seat sufficiently to cause the faucet to be broken in drawing the valve from the valve cylinder.

Having thu described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A fauce; coin noer, an arm extending ;linder, having an o" on the arm and cli he cylinder, a valve s he o'l't'set end of the a a l connected to the valve, and me 1115 to positively move the stem to and from 'ts seat, reacting 1 against the oliset end or the ari i.

A faucet comprisin a valve cvlinder, a 1 l :3 u 1 tnnnhle valve sh cylinder anl Liable in the held from turning therein and havi 1g g charge opening atthe lower side, an arm tending outwardly from the cylinder, aw an otl'set portion, a valve stem operitive connected to the vilve and passing through the onset potion ot the arm, and means to move the stern ot the valve longitudinally connection with the valve and threaded through the offset portion of the arm, and a handle connected to the valve stem at the outside of the arm.

5. A faucetcon prising a valve cylinder having an external flange at its outer end, an arm extending from the upper portion of the 'lange, having an oii'set end portion, a drain spout extendin "rein the lower porion of the said flange, a clamping ring intended on the body of the va ve cylinder and adapted to bind the vessel to which the applied, to the shoulder presented 3y the flange, valve slidable in the valve cvlinder, having a discharge opening at the side ther of and slidably engaged with arm, a valve stem threaded through the portion of the arm and having a ed connection with the valve, and an neniher connected to the stem at f the arm.
